Autoři: Hall, Matthew, orcid:0009-0001-7066-

Sbírka: Zenodo
Témata: Chronos theory, cross-frequency coupling, EEG, neural oscillations, cognitive persistence, Theta–Gamma coupling, Alpha–Beta coupling, time curvature, neurostimulation, brain–computer interfaces
Popis: Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) — the interaction of neural oscillations across distinct frequency bands — is a central organizing principle in cognition, memory, and consciousness. While empirical work has identified privileged couplings such as Theta–Gamma and Alpha–Beta, existing models remain descriptive and lack a unifying explanation for why these specific pairings dominate.This work extends the Chronos framework of time-curvature and shell quantization to cognitive neuroscience. We show that EEG frequency bands align with a universal ladder, and that strong CFC emerges when bands are harmonically related shells. This structure explains the empirical dominance of Theta–Gamma coupling in memory and Alpha–Beta coupling in attentional control, while predicting weak Delta couplings due to off-shell mismatch.We provide analytic derivations, resonance heatmaps, and detuning curves, and propose testable predictions for neurostimulation (tACS/tDCS), intracranial recordings, and clinical diagnostics. Chronos shell harmonics thus offer the first physics-based, universal framework predicting which cross-frequency couplings stabilize persistence in cognition.
